completed path 3 without much trouble today. Path 1 on the other hand was just silly.
Our group consisted of 2 warriors, 2 guardians and a mesmer. Killing the golem wasn’t a problem. Killing the first boss went fine too.
The 3 golems are now closely tethered which makes the fight a lot harder – the spike damage from all 3 is insane. If you don’t have someone clearing conditions almost constantly you will die in 2-3 seconds.
This is where the problems started. After we were trying a few things on the 3 golems and wiping the run back was easily the hardest thing I’ve encountered so far in this game. It’s nigh on impossible to run past endlessly spawning silver mobs, all of which can slow and hit for 1-2k at a time. At the end of this gauntlet you also have the golems which spin and knock you down. Chances are you’ve already used all of your evasive skills during the never ending spawns.
We did eventually after much frustration manage to get through to the golems again and finish them off.
This brought us to the final boss, with his new addition. A gold mob which stealth’s. To me it seemed this was just adding another large health pool to the fight, a quick but poor bandage fix to a fairly trivial fight. We didn’t actually manage to finish off this boss – we wiped and didn’t fancy running the gauntlet all over again.
I wont be running this path again. I seems that this wasn’t actually tested and is now overly difficult, not because you have to keep your wits about you and use all of your professions skills, just the sheer number of mobs that spawn is unmanageable. I assume this was the designers “Fix” for people killing 2 of the mobs and tanking the last one to avoid further spawns. Well it just made people avoid path 1 of this dungeons along with path 2.
If this is a bug some confirmation would be nice although it seems that this is probably intended.

I am experiencing severe lag on gandara pretty much every day now since sometime mid last week. I only experience this lag while playing GW2. I am in the UK on talk talk ISP.
